DTC P0505 Idle Control System Malfunction

Description DTC P0505

The idling speed is controlled by the ETCS (Electronic Throttle Control System). The ETCS is comprised of: 1) a one-valve-type throttle body; 2) the throttle actuator, which operates the throttle valve; 3) the Throttle Position (TP) sensor, which detects the opening angle of the throttle valve; 4) the Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) sensor, which detects the accelerator pedal position; and 5) the ECM, which controls the ETCS. Based on the target idling speed, the ECM controls the throttle actuator to provide the proper throttle valve opening angle.

DTC Code DTC Detection Conditions Trouble Areas
P0505 The idling speed continues to vary greatly from the target idling speed (2 trip detection logic).
  1. ETCS
  2. Air induction system
  3. PCV hose connection
  4. ECM

Inspection procedure

HINT:

  1. The following conditions may also cause DTC P0505 to be stored:
    1. The floor carpet overlapping onto the accelerator pedal, causing the accelerator pedal to be slightly depressed and therefore the throttle valve position to be slightly open.
    2. The accelerator pedal being not fully released.
  2. Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can be helpful in determining whether the vehicle was moving or stationary, whether the engine was warmed up or not, whether the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, as well as other data recorded at the time of a malfunction.

1.CHECK ANY OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P0505)

  1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

  1. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

  1. Turn the tester on.

  1. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / DTC.

  1. Read the DTCs.

    HINT:

    If any DTCs other than P0505 are output, troubleshoot those DTCs first.

2.CHECK PCV HOSE CONNECTIONS

  1. Check the PCV hose connections.

    OK:

    PCV hose is connected correctly and is not damaged.

  NG  
REPAIR OR REPLACE PCV HOSE
 
OK  
   

3.CHECK AIR INDUCTION SYSTEM

  1. Check the air induction system for vacuum leakage.

    OK:

    No leakage from air induction system.

  NG  
REPAIR OR REPLACE AIR INDUCTION SYSTEM
 
OK  
   

4.CHECK THROTTLE VALVE

  1. Check the throttle valve condition.

    OK:

    Throttle valve is not contaminated with foreign objects and moves smoothly.

  NG  
REPLACE THROTTLE WITH MOTOR BODY ASSEMBLY
 
OK  
   
REPLACE ECM
